The film is very particular in pointing out that the fundamental inconsistencies of society result in many well-positioned intellectuals being pushed into revolting against the prevailing systems. Her childhood is full of instances where her family members work against the ruling system. When the uprising is taking place against the US-backed monarchy in Iran, Marjane wonders whether her family has the justification to support her uncle Anoosh who was a communist. The present-day depictions are made in color while the historic narratives bear similarity to shadow theatres. The director has been careful in depicting the film in black and white while she remembers her childhood. While smoking a cigarette she is seen remembering her childhood days in 1979 when she was a nine-year-old girl with big dreams and ambitions. The film commences at an airport where Marjane is unable to catch a flight to Iran.
